667
668<p>Language is constantly evolving and often deeply personal. As an organisation we tend to use facial difference or disfigurement which activists have coined as FD. This describes an appearance-affecting mark, scar or condition that an individual is born with or acquires, either permanently or temporarily.</p>
669
670
671
672<p>Self-identification is hugely important on an individual level, whilst also encouraging our communities to use the words that are enshrined in law to exercise any rights or protections that may be reliant on using certain words.</p>
673
674
675
676<p>Many organisations and individuals that we make common cause with identify with ‘visible difference’ as a term that encompasses facial and bodily differences. The <strong>‘Face Equality Movement’</strong> is not exclusive to those with lived experience, <strong>it is a mechanism for anyone to make change.</strong><strong></strong></p>

740<p>FEI was formed in 2018 by our late founder, Dr James Partridge OBE. The Alliance was formed to mobilise the many groups and organisations, big and small, national and international, which support and represent people with facial differences and disfigurements and thereby to create the critical mass and solidarity needed to gain global attention for the campaign for face equality.</p>
